Eli Wayne didn’t know what he was doing. She could only feel her discomfort being gradually relieved. She fell into a deep sleep after she was satisfied.
Sean Yaleman looked at her red cheeks with relish. He stroked her bangs.
Three years ago, he was already deeply in love with her.
He never gave up, and he would try ways to ruin all of her relationships.
She would either have him or die an old spinster.
Stella Grace got the list of Tony’s guests before he was killed.
She was in a daze as she read the document.
Katty Davis.
The last person whom Tony had serviced was Katty Davis. That would mean Greg Miles must have been abducted by Zoah Davis.
The situation was worse than she thought.
If it was just an ordinary high-ranking official, Jasper could deal with it with a few words.
Zoah Davis had a higher rank than Jasper, and he was the most popular candidate for Presidency.
It was no laughing matter.
Stella dared not to take any action, so she called Jasper.
Beep–
Jasper picked up the call.
“Ermm Jasper, I suspect that Greg was taken away by Katty Davis’ father, what should we do next?” Stella asked cautiously.
“I expected it when you mentioned Tony, a women’s club, and Sally’s club. Don’t worry, I have it under control. Greg has been released. I will take care of the rest, don’t butt in,” Jasper said.
Stella: “…”
“Why did you ask Damian to come then?” She didn’t understand.
“It was just my wild guess. You won’t go wrong from doing more. I’ll ask someone to take you to your hotel now. Have a good sleep tonight. See you tomorrow.” Jasper did not give her a chance to reply and hung up abruptly.
“See me tomorrow?
Was he coming back tomorrow?” Stella asked herself.
She could not cut her ties with him completely nor could she escape from him now that she owed him.
He might have said it casually but the process must have been troublesome.
She should at least treat him to a meal.
Stella went back and took a pill for a good night sleep. She knocked out right after she lay down on the bed.
In the morning, when she opened her eyes, she saw Jasper sleeping next to her. His hand naturally rested on her waist.
Stella was shocked. “Why are you here?”
Jasper did not open his eyes but said, “Sleep with me for a while more.”
He looked really tired.
It was already 9:00 p. m. when she last contacted him. If he boarded the 9:00 p. m. train, he would reach A City at 4:00 a. m.
She did not speak or move.
She thought she might not be able to go back to sleep since she hadn’t been sleeping well recently and needed medicine for it. But she still drifted off.
After quite some time,
Jasper moved and woke Stella up. She opened her eyes and asked, “What time is it now?”
Jasper glanced at his phone and said, “It’s twelve o’clock.”
Stella: “…”
She slept too much. She quickly sat up. “Let’s go. I’ll treat you to lunch.”
Jasper held her shoulders and pressed her to the bed. “Before that, let’s do something else first.”
He tried to kiss her but she quickly covered her mouth.
Jasper frowned. “Stella, don’t make me angry.”
“I haven’t brushed my teeth yet,” Stella said unhappily.
Jasper paused for a moment, let her go, and went into the bathroom to brush his teeth and wash his face.
Stella followed him. As she was squeezing out her toothpaste, Jasper walked into the glass shower area and showered in front of her.
Her gaze unknowingly fell on his lower body.. he was ready.
She blushed and turned around and continued to brush her teeth. She then spread facial cleanser all over her face and washed her face.
All of a sudden, he stood behind her in a bath towel, looking at her with keen eyes and asked, “Do you want to shower too?”
Stella looked into his eyes and saw the desire in them. She was a little flustered.
Why did everything go back to square one?
She shook her head and said, “I’ve already showered last night. I’ll have to go to the research center to work later. I missed work this morning.”
Jasper looked at her with a little anger. “Aren’t you a freelancer? Greg said you don’t have to go to work. You are free to do anything.”
Stella:”…”
How did he know everything?
She felt like she just stabbed herself with a knife.
Jasper read her mind. “Why? Do you not want to?”
Stella lowered her head. “I’m hungry. I didn’t eat lunch and dinner yesterday. I didn’t have breakfast too. I’m so hungry. My stomach hurts.”
“Okay. It’s my fault, I didn’t take that into consideration. Let’s go have lunch first. I’ll change my clothes, can you help to wash them?” Jasper asked.
Stella took a look at his clothes.
He meant to ask her to wash his undergarments, the rest needed dry-cleaning.
She didn’t know what was wrong with her but she agreed to his request.
Jasper smirked and was quite satisfied with her answer. He walked out of the bathroom.
Stella followed his steps, and then she found that he brought his luggage along.
“Don’t you have to go to the military base?” Stella asked.
“I’ll go in a while. There are still a lot of things to do at the base,” Jasper said in a deep voice.
Stella breathed a sigh of relief sneakily.
He saw her reaction, and didn’t say anything, but his eyes became colder.
He dressed in front of her as if they were a married couples. Stella was embarrassed. She took her clothes and went to the bathroom to change.
They went to Suntec International Inc, which was near the hotel, to find a restaurant for lunch.
They came here for a meal three years ago. If they ended their relationship then and there, things might have turned out better.
“Want some ice cream?” Jasper asked Stella.
Stella smiled when she saw the ice cream shop.
It was still the same shop and the same owner. “You asked me the same question on our first date. I said I didn’t want any. You bought three and asked me to hold them for you. In the end, I ate one and you gave the rest to some kids.”
“It seems like something I would do,” Jasper agreed.
“Was that a trap?” Stella commented.
“I think I must have been in love with you at that time,” Jasper said in a deep voice.
Stella was startled for a moment, then she met his eyes.
Jasper was scrutinizing her. “You don’t trust me?”
Stella didn’t want to play the guessing game with him anymore. She didn’t want to waste their time and decided to make things clear. “Jasper, I think the one you love is Bettany Hadley.”
Jasper was very calm, and there was no change of expression on his face.
She couldn’t tell what was in his mind.
“Stella, have you ever loved Frederick Addington?” Jasper asked.
“Our situation was different.”
“The results were the same, weren’t they?” Jasper pressed.
Stella braced herself. “Frederick is no longer in my heart. Do you still have Bettany in yours?”
